A new CBS News poll finds that 69% of Americans believe the financial cost of the U.S. military campaign against Iran was not worthwhile, according to a report. The survey continues a pattern of public skepticism about the war's returns, echoing similar sentiment in Israel.
A CBS News poll published Sunday found that 69% of Americans believe the financial investment in the U.S. military campaign against Iran was not worth it, the survey's results indicate. The finding aligns with a broader trend of public dissatisfaction with the war's outcomes on both sides of the Atlantic.
As The Zioneer reported over the past week, several Israeli polls have captured similar skepticism: 84% of Israelis said Israel did not win the war (Channel 12, June 18), and 71% said they do not trust U.S. President Donald Trump to safeguard Israeli interests in Iran negotiations (Israel Hayom, June 18). A separate poll found 63% of Israelis fear for Israel's future over the U.S.-Iran deal (June 20). The CBS survey provides the first major American public-opinion data point on the war's financial return.
The poll was conducted after the conclusion of active U.S. military operations against Iran. No other survey details — sample size, margin of error, or specific question wording — were available from the initial report.
